% Author: Victor Brena
% Description: Contains the thesis template using memoir class,
% which is mainly based on book class but permits better control of
% chapter styles for example. This template is an adaptation and
% modification of Oscar's.
%
% Memoir is a flexible class for typesetting poetry, fiction,
% non-fiction and mathematical works as books, reports, articles or
% manuscripts. CTAN repository is found at:
% http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/memoir/
%
%
% UoB guidelines for thesis presentation were found at:
% http://www.bris.ac.uk/esu/pg/pgrcop11-12topic.pdf#page=49
%
% UoB guidelines:
%
% The dissertation must be printed on A4 white paper. Paper up to A3 may be used
% for maps, plans, diagrams and illustrative material. Pages (apart from the
% preliminary pages) should normally be double-sided.
%
% Memoir class loads useful packages by default (see manual).

% Oscar's command (it works):

% spill over onto the even-numbered pages if extending beyond one page
% (hopefully, this is ok).
